Determination of Thermodynamic Cloud Phase and Reflective Field from Radiance Measurements
The thermodynamic cloud phase and composition have substantial impacts on vertical profiles of radiative heating. However, reliable retrievals of these quantities from remote sensing measurements are still difficult. Furthermore, retrieval techniques using satellite radiance measurements are limited...

Summary: | The thermodynamic cloud phase and composition have substantial impacts on vertical profiles of radiative heating. However, reliable retrievals of these quantities from remote sensing measurements are still difficult. Furthermore, retrieval techniques using satellite radiance measurements are limited to at most a few viewing angles. During the 2004 Mixed-Phase Arctic Clouds Experiment (M-PACE) at |
